Flashback Friday: Ruidoso 2006

 I was looking through the pictures on my computer, and came across these pics from when we went to Ruidoso in 2006. We spent spent a week, shopping, sight-seeing, and playing with the girls. My dad met us up on the weekend with my nephew, Jarren. We had a wonderful time. I cannot believe how little the girls look.  I am looking so forward to taking them again. They love it there!

This pic was taken in front of my favorite shops in Ruidoso. It is called Klassy Kids. They sell the cutest boutique children's clothes. My mom and I love to go to all of the little shops when we go.

This pic of was taken in front of the Rio Ruidoso. It is a stream that runs through Ruidoso. This was such a fun day when Ky and I got to have some time alone together. I took her to a pony ride, and to the park. Fun times! I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to see all of the Flashback Fridays!

Sweet Little Monkeys!

Our scrapbook table aka dining room table!

I just wanted to show you guys what we have been up to today. My co-teacher (and friend) Korey came over today to work on memory books. All of the teachers at LakeRidge put in countless hours and lots of love into making these. The books contain precious pictures, crafts, and special memories the kiddos have had during the year.  We started off the day with a super clean table and ended up with my dining room covered. I think I scared Korey at first when I mentioned how much time I like to put into these. She was such a trooper. She came at 8:30 a.m. and didn't go home until 3:30p.m. She did an awesome job! We got several pages done, and I can't wait until we have the final books finished. I always get so excited to show them to the parents. This year at LakeRidge all of the classes were assigned an animal to represent our class. I chose the monkeys. This class has been such a blessing to me. I have loved watching them grow and learn. Wish me luck on getting these books done! I just love those monkeys! I posted a pic below of our class. I hope you had a marvelous Monday!!

Our Sweet Little Monkeys! ( Aren't they precious!)

Future Monterey Plainsman and Showgirl!

Wow! I have a ton of catching up to do on my blog! We have been super busy, these past two weeks. I guess that is how it is at the end of a school year. I am doing a post on what the girls have been up to. I am so excited to tell you guys that Kylie was part of twenty students in her whole school to be a future Monterey Plainsman. I was so proud of her. There were only three kindergarten students chosen for this honor. Three representatives from Monterey Highschool came to her school today to present her with a t-shirt and certificate. Mrs. Holder told me that she chose Kylie, because she has great citizenship, listens and follows instructions, is kind to fellow students , and is a strong leader in her class. WOW! That was all I hoped for her in her first year of school. I went to Monterey's rival school, Coronado. I guess I better start getting used to the fact that Kylie will be a plainsman one day. So here goes... GO PLAINSMEN!

Marls has been one busy girl, also. She had her spring program last week. She LOVES to sing, and dance.  I don't think I have ever told all of you, that I teach on Tues. and Thurs. at Marleigh's C.D.O.  I had my own class to tend to during the program, and so I was not able to watch Marls sing. Thankfully,  Lala  came and took some precious pictures of her for me. Thanks Lala! I also received a DVD of the whole program from my good friend Jamie, but I am not computer savvy enough to figure out to put it on the blog. 

Singing, "This little light of mine!"

"Clap, clap, clap your hands!"

"Wheels on the Bus!"

"ABC Song!"

That's about all for this post. I am looking forward to May. The girls have their dance recital, end of school parties, and more. I hope all of you had a wonderful week and have a blessed weekend!

Flashback Friday: Woah Mama!

I remember this day like it was yesterday. This was Nov. 17Th, 2005. Do I look scared? I was minutes away from going in for my c-section. Who knew that I had 9 pounds 7 ounces of sassy in there. I gained 30 pounds with Marls. Can you tell? She has been such a wonderful blessing to us.  She is funny, outgoing and sassy all the way! I have tons to blog about. It has just been one of those weeks where it has been one thing after another. I will hopefully be able to catch up today or tomorrow. Have a fantastic Friday!!!

Flashback Friday: Sea World!

This was taken almost a year ago, when we went with my parents to Walt Disney World and Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I love this picture with all of my three sweet blessings and the beautiful dolphins in the background. It brings back some wonderful memories! I would love to go back someday! I hope you all have a fab Friday!
